In the wake of Tom Petty’s shocking death, many of the biggest names in the music world have taken to honor the man through online tributes, personal anecdotes, and of course, live performances of his iconic songs. Last night, Wilco added to the chorus of luminaries paying tribute to Petty during their show in Irving, Texas. Midway through the set, the Chicago rockers decided to bust out a cover of his 1981 Hard Promises hit “The Waiting.”

This isn’t the first time that Wilco have performed a Petty classic onstage. Shortly after the tragic news broke about his death, the band posted a clip of themselves playing his song “Listen To The Heart” all the way back in 1995 in Colorado.
